For Young Men.

An excellent audience, chiefly young
men, filled last night the tastefully- deco
rated hall of the Young Mems Christian
Association to enjoy the excellent musical
and literary entertainment provided by the
managers of this organization for the bene-
fit of our young men. The programme was
gotten up by NJ X. Barrett, and he had

sickness in the family, the leading lady

Feaney Wiezers Case.

In Department Two ofthe Superior Court
yesterday, Judge Wilson, of San Francisco
presiding in place OF Judge Van Fleet, who
has exchanged Courts with him for few
days, the case of Josephine Tor +" Feaney "
Wheel, charged with murder. in shooting
and instantly killing Jacob Klein on the
night of June q, 1886, as he was leaving
the Plazs, was called for trial. The de-
fendant, who seemed to be in excellent
health and not depressed in spirit, occu-
pied seat by her attorney. Grove l.. John
son, and held her little boy baby. born a
few months ago, upon her lap. Her father
and mother sat near her. The prosecution
was represented by District Attorney
Bruner and C. T. Jones. Mr.. and Mrs.
Klein, father and mother of the deceased
Jacob Klein, were seated near the prosecut-
ing attorneys During the entire day the
Courtroom was filled with spectators. The
days session was occupied with the impan-
cling of jury, which proceeded so slowly
that, when the Court adjourned for the day,
only nine had been secured. This, how
ever, was as good as could have been hoped
for under the peculiar circumstances of the
case, one of the difficulties the attorneys
had to encounter being the natural gal
lantry of mankind, which caused many of
those examined as to their qualifications to
act as jurors 10 admit that it would require

nesses have been put under rule to attend,

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Comparison of Rainfall.

Sergeant Barwick writes the RECORD
UNION: Il have been asked by several
interested parties for the comparison of
rainfall for each season TO date, as COM
pared with the present one. The data
asked for Will be found below. Knowing
the REcoBD-UNIoN takes great interest in
laying such figures before its many readers
induced me 10 take the time and compile
the data -
The rainfall record from 1S49 to the
present time shows positively very dry
season every 10 years The thirteen years
interval were as follows: 1S50-51, 1S63-64,
and 1857; the next one, therefore,
should be in 1SS9-9O. During the ID years
interval between 1S63-64 and 1867 there
was an extra dry season in 1901, but
this IL years interval, with two dry sea-
sons, gave much greater total than did
the previous - years interval that had but
one dry season in its total rainfall. The
total rainfall for the IL years from one dry
season to another was from 1872 to 1861
both seasons included, al. so inches from
1868 to 1867, both seasons included,
gave a total of 251 65 inches from 1878
to 1856, both seasons included, was 204
inches-fallen inside of 8 seasons. This is
37.99 inches less than had fallen in the
enIlre 10 years from 1S0l-2 to 1868 4,
and 1875 inches less than was precipi-
tated between 1864 and 1867. Now if
the Coming thirteen years from 1876 the
last dry season, gives us as much as the
thirteen years from 1864 to 1877. there then
remain but 47.65 inches of rain to be dis
tributed during this and the next three sea-
sons, being an average of nearly II inches.
If the thirteen years from 1876 to 1SS9-90
only gives us the same amount of rain as
was measured during the thirteen years
from 1872 10 1864, then that would be
but an average of a little over 81 inches for
this and the next three seasons. If, accord
ing to the record of thirty-seven years,
1SS9-90 proves to be an exceptionally dry
season, that would leave the remaining
season from this 1867, to the one of
1SS9-90 about u to IA inches. The figures
of total rainfall of thirteen years interval,
from one dry season to another, shows that
we have had more in the last nine seasons
of the coming thirteen than the average,
thereby decreasing the chances of heavy
seasonal rainfalls during the next three
years. These are deductions as taken from
the table of rainfall as recorded by Drs
Logan and Hatch, and the Signal office
records

Inquest in the Case of Harry o. White.
l. IL L.

Inquest in the Case of Harry o. White.
Coroner Clark held an inquest last even
ing upon the body of Harry o. White, who
was found lying dead upon his cemetery
lot last Sunday forenoon. A. Flohr testi-
fed that deceased came to his gun store on
Sunday morning and borrowed revolver,
saying that he wanted it to kill dog. Mr..
Flohr had loaned him pistol about six
months previously, and he returned it &C.
cording to promise; the gunsmith there
fore let him have the weapon without sus-
picion that he wanted it for other purposes
than that he named The weapon found
lying by the deceased in the cemetery was
the one borrowed. White seemed to be
sober and in good spirits when Mr.. Flohr
saw him.
Charles Kappman, Sexton at the City
Cemetery, testified that he saw deceased
about $3.50 A. NJ, Sunday in a saloon near
the cemetery, where he called for a small
glass of beer. and after drinking it sat down
and seemed to fall asleep. Soon arousing
himself, he said that he had been taking
laudanum, as he had been unable to sleep
for three nights, owing to neuralgia and
rheumatism. He then started to walk to-
ward r street. but after going a short dis.
lance hesitated, stopped and went into the
cemetery. He had a small package in his
hand, and witness, thinking that it
was a pistol, followed him. He
proceeded to his lot and sat
down upon it, but caught sight of witness,
who was watching him from behind
monument. Seeing that he was discovered,
witness went away. Shortly afterwards a
boy gave the alarm that man was lying
asleep, or dead, with pistol near him, and
on investigation, the body of deceased was
found. Mr.. Kappman testified that about
a year ago deceased told him that he in
tended to sometime commit suicide on his
lot.
There was other evidence that Mr.. White
had been great sufferer from neuralgia
and other diseases, and had been known to
threaten his own life.
The jury returned a verdict that he came
to his death from a gunshot wound. in

RAZOR FLYNN THROUGH THE AR
About l o'clock yesterday morning, a
young colored an appeared at the station
house, bleeding freely from a cut on his
face, which passed from over his left eye to
the cheekbone, and then crossed over to his
upper and lower lips. 1t looked like two
cuts, but he declared that it was all one
wound, made with razor by another coll
ored man, known as Black jack en-
ployed on the Rancho del Paso, but not
long resident of the State, being new
conner from the South. The trouble grew
out of the fact that the injured individual
had been too familiar with Jacks girl. Of
ficer Leavy fixed the wounds up with stick
ing plaster, and his patient then departed,
intimating that he would like to prosecute
his assailant, but was afraid it would take
too much time, and thus be expensive.
